Today our Super Latina Diana Maria Riva enlightens us on the importance of knowing when to keep pushing through challenges as well as knowing when to let go. This first-gen's roots reach to the beautiful Dominican Republic. Her mother's teachings prepared her for the journey from Cincinnati, Ohio to Hollywood, CA where she is a recognizable presence on-screen in some of today's popular TV shows and movies. The award-winning actress shares the first casting challenge she faced, the responsibilities we have to our daughters to always keep going, how her new show "The Gordita Chronicles" conveys the universal message of finding one's place no matter where you are from and more. Here's to not letting others decide what your story will be!
The Gordita Chronicles streams on HBO Max June 23rd

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
